TFAH Comments on OMB Proposed Regulations for Federal Financial Assistance
Federal grants power the nation’s public health infrastructure. They support preparedness, surveillance, immunization efforts, research, and community prevention.
Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) submitted comments urging the Office of Management and Budget to withdraw its proposed changes to the Uniform Guidance for federal financial assistance. Accountability and transparency matter, but this proposal would destabilize grantees and weaken the evidence-based, nonpartisan systems communities rely on to protect health.
Public health works best when federal funding is stable and insulated from politics. These investments help communities prevent illness, prepare for emergencies, and stop outbreaks before they spread.
